 Dan Harris of ABC News reports that most mainstream economists don’t predict as dire an economic situation as forecasters such as Peter Schiff and Gerald Celente, so why are they so popular amongst doom and gloomers on the web?

Why would anyone read pessimism porn with any regularity? Porn addicts that I’ve spoken to say that it helps you feel smarter than most of the other average Joes because it makes you feel smarter that you know what’s coming when most other people don’t.
